Travel Blogs from Barcelona

... of art. Although there is quite a hike up local streets with some outdoor escalators, the view at the top is unreal. I didn't pay the 8€ to go see the art work (something to do on my next trip), but I got an equally good view. Then it was a long hike back down the mountain.

Then it was off to my last thing of the day: Montjuic mountain. Another exhausting hike where I was starting to cramp in my calves and build quite a sweat as it was 30 ...

After we made it back to the hotel (on the first metro of the day) we took a brief nap before we were back at it. We got up a couple hours later and headed to the huge outdoor market on Las Ramblas called La Boqueria to meet out friends and get nourishment.
